Shall have a look - they're somewhere between Sonny Sharrock and Girlband, for those that like that sort of thing... They have added a sax player for most of the set.... not sure if that's a recent thing, but works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Watching Little Simz right now. Good stuff, and some cracking basslines from the live band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMX Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Really enjoyed the Kendrick, Mitski and Turnstile sets. Hadn't heard Mitski before but it was a great performance with some catchy tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybass Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Anyone catch Jess Hayes with her band in the Kashmir stage? I recorded her EP last year, Jess is a mighty fine singer/songwriter in the rock stream of music following her mum and dad's footsteps... who have a band 'Bad Influence' that I work in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yesterday, I watched Haim (I like them, but the banter with the crowd was somewhat painful, as was a certain guitar note at the end 😱). I had a look at Wet Leg, OK, but the lyric writing seems lazy (mega repeats or lah, lah, lah). St Vincent is truly eclectic, a Prince/Madonna mashup and all stops in between (monster bass tones from JMJ), not really my thing, or is it (I really don’t know ). I watched Snarky Puppy with great interest, fantastic chops from the whole band, but I found it a bit like musical wallpaper, I couldn’t get excited by it. I’ve come to the conclusion that daytime, open air gigs aren’t my thing, there’s something a bit off about them for me. Much like a movie, I find gigs are best enjoyed indoors, in the dark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Based on what others have been saying I've been checking out sets on iPlayer for Wet Leg, First Aid Kit, Kruangbin (sic), Black Midi, Amyl & the Sniffers, Idles, Dry Cleaning, Mitski and a couple of others I've forgotten. Also watched some more familiar stuff like Primal Scream. Sorry people, it all reminds me of a 6th form battle of the bands but without facial hair. Not sure who was saying Glastonbury has lost its indie vibe. There were scores of indie bands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I enjoyed Cate LeBon. Quite nice to hear prominent bass lines played with that 80's sound - a jazz bass and chorus pedal, Old-fashioned Avant - to use a confutation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0c91cpy/glastonbury-cate-le-bon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Haven't found Black Midi yet, but did find Squid... Didn't even know they were playing! Great drum based grooves and general oddness. Like New York No Wave was back! Somewhere between James Chance, Talking Heads, Marc Ribot and Alt J... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 A slight detour but on the theme of Glast, I've been reading about and seeing recent photos of all the stuff left behind, the usual tents, sleeping bangs, plastic packaging (!!) etc. Not quite in keeping with the supposed spirit of this particular festival, which has been sponsored by Greenpeace for ages and makes a bit of a mockery of the cheers and applause when Greta Thunberg did her thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. It's become a normal thing now, but I remember how shocked I was when someone told me that people just left their tents behind at festivals, like a single-use product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately and most irresponsibly manufacturers and retailers market some tent ranges as single use products. Sure there are some festival goers who are responsible but unfortunately, in the UK many dumbasses seem to be hard wired to not giving a f3ck.

That's when festivals were festivals. None of this Instagram glamping nonsense back then. I remember folks coming back from festivals looking like they had been on the Somme! No wonder they have cash machines at Glastonbury nowadays if it costs £6 for a pint of beer or cider and £11.50 for a cheese toastie.(!) Drugs used to be a problem at festivals, but nowadays festival goers could adopt a cocaine habit out of necessity as a way of saving money. For those prices price I would be expecting Paul McCartney to serve me my food in bed and call me "sir".

All I can say is whatever they have been sniffing, they have either been sniffing too much of it or not enough. What I like most about this band is their referencing of the Sharpie subculture (skinheads with mullets- a wonderfully Aussie combination!) of early- mid Seventies Australia. The music fits that era perfectly, too. Edited July 1, 2022 by Misdee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that Glastonbury trades on it's history as a counterculture event despite the reality that it's now a bastion of the establishment. It's the Wimbledon of rock festivals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
